Ed Sheeran Explains Why He’s Wearing A Ring On ‘That’ Finger

Eagle eyed fans of Ed Sheeran have noticed that on recent red carpet outings the singer has been sporting a ring on a special finger.

And of course, since we know for sure that Ed is engaged to long-term girlfriend Cherry Seaborn people began to assume that they had secretly married!

But it turns out the real reason behind the new accessory is that the ’Perfect’ singer is one massive romantic!

While on the BRIT Awards red carpet earlier this week in London, Dan Wooton from Lorraine on ITV decided to ask Sheeran out right, "Are you married?”

“No, I’m not married,” replied Ed.

So then why is he wearing a wedding band? Well it turns out that Ed has thrown out tradition and has decided to wear an engagement ring to symbolise his devotion to his new fiance.

“I never saw why men didn’t wear engagement rings. It’s the same commitment either way. Cherry made it for me herself out of Silver clay. I really like it. I haven’t told anyone that, either.”
